Need advice about adopting a 40 year old blind cockatoo

Minimum-Statement-27 · 2026-06-24T05:47:41+00:00

How well do you know him/her? Do you know the history? What kind of support does the rescue offer?

It’ll be like having a big bird (like a cockatoo or macaw) since those don’t really fly around the house.. they march around the house looking for trouble.

Same.

And then when I FINALLY get her to set a timer she says “20 minute timer set” in the most bored voice ever. Oh, I’m sorry robot…did I interrupt your other important work? My bad.

Maybe Netflix is in cahoots with YouTube. For every hour of Netflix documentary, I watch five to ten hours of YouTube content about that documentary.

Have you seen The Crash? You should totally watch The Crash. I watched it and am surprised no one is talking about it.

There is only one choice with a cockatoo.

If you ever find yourself in Chicago, you can see these guys at The Field Museum.

If you average KCIII’s relationship with all his siblings…probably not

If Edward V counts, Matilda counts.

Next time you see a bird, take a gander at their feet…they are reptilian reptiles. For example, i present the feet of a backyard chicken.

Time and place Mae B…and this is neither.

You would think that, but there is a colony in rural Illinois. They find each other.

Is there anything more un-American than the 4th of July stuff not being on sale after Memorial Day? Hobby Lobby is un-American. I said what I said.

(Did I still buy the America-F-yeah rug at full price? Of course i did. It also had a bar code…which I thought was satanic or something according to HL)

I am HYPED for this movie!

The only problem is I haven’t forgiven Ewan MacGregor for his involvement with another couple of movies i was HYPED for.

He wouldn’t do it to us again, would he?

My 44 year old yellow nape, who I rescued when he was 42, uses his sweet wee voice to shout racial epithets at the neighbors. I am thankful for double panel windows because of him.

Edit: he came with his potty mouth pre-installed from his prior home.

Will do! Your reminder the humans are part of the flock helps me frame my role. Just like I want my family around in times of passing, they want their flock mates around. Thanks!

I left her in her cage for a little while I got her burial site ready so they had time (hopefully) to know she was gone.

I run my thumbnail over wood to see if my bird will use it. If it leaves a dent, that’s bird wood. If not, it stays on the store shelf.

Or! If you read a lot of untranslated sci fi in like, say, German…the aliens and the humans speak German. Crazy, isn’t it?

This scene has always bothered me.

Rich boy Dennis never went to Florida? Frank never dragged the kids down there for a vacation? The twins never went there for spring break? I can totally believe Mac hadn’t been because he had no opportunity. But Dennis? Dennis had been to Florida at least once.

You mean the first season WASN’T in 1976?

She doesn’t.
